Application filed March 26, 1925. Serial No. 18,609.

This invention relates to a combined stocking and overshoe. An object of the inventlon concerns the provision of simple and efficient footwear which .combines the utility;

of an overshoe and a stocking in one-article. The invention concerns the provision of simple and eflicient means whereby a stocking and an overshoe are combined in one article which isneat and attractive in appearance and economical to manufacture.

Q Another object concerns the provision of a simple and eflicient article which can be worn in wet weather to protect not only the feet but the legs of the wearer and have the appearance ot a heavy cloth stocking combined with'rubbers.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings, of whichv d Figure 1 is a perspective view of the article on the limbs of a wearer;

Fig. 2 is a partial'elevation of the upperend of the stocking; Fig. 3'is a section of the foot of the article; and

Fig. 4 is a transverse section on the, line 4-4 of Fig. 3.. The form of .-understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the-materials used may 4 be adopted withoutdeparting from. "the" ably adapted forwomems use.

the invention shown in the. drawings is a preferred form,.although' it is The lower end of this stocking is, by any suitable method and apparatus, substantially integrally connected-to a rubber or overshoe 16. This overshoe may be of any desired type, the form shown being prefer-- In the form shown, the lower end of the stocking is properly cemented to the inner surface of the sides of the overshoe, and then a rubber lining 17 is disposed against the stocking as shown. ,The particular manner in which these layers of rubber and the layer of stocking are connected together is immaterial, although the form shown is desirable. In this way a'person can slip on the article and protect not only the feet but also the limbs from the weather and at the same time maintain the appearance ofwearing this particular type, of stocking. The I fact that the stocking at its lower-end is provided with a waterproof layer of rubber makesthe article more efiective to prevent getting the feet wet than if the shoe itself Q were exposed to the moisture. It furthermore combines-the idea of a heavy stocking and a rubber in one article. This invention provides a'protectio'n especially adapted for cpld weather to wear over ashoe and stocking-and can be regulated to any desired size from the ankle to the knee.
